A READER asks US to print an article
from the Atlanta Constitution showing
the effect OF prohibition in that city. We
do this with pleasure. Still it is not a
weigbty argument in favor OF the adoption
Of prohibitory amendment in West Vir-
ginis. Georgia has not written in her
Constitution prohibition Of the liquor
traffic. Atlanta is operating under local
option law. This We have in West Yir-
ginis.
II there be in Wheeling sentiment
averse to license, it has only to elect
a Council OIL the no licenrs issue,
and no licenae will be granted. But this
ia not according to the idea Of Prohibi-
tionists, who ask the State to say that no
liquor shall be sold in Wheeling. This
the voters OF the State may do, but We
are forced to believe that their voice will
be impotent, for. tho reason that enforce
mens will depsnd on local sentiment, and
the sentiment to enforce a prohibitory
law does not exist in Wheeling.
1t would be possible to set on foot a
movement IN Wheeling thst would largely
reduce the number Of saloons and drive
oat entirely ths men who have shown
themselves unfit to be trusted with
licenses at any price or under any condi.
